FAQ

In a pinch, make your own spot remover by mixing 1/4 teaspoon liquid detergent (without bleach) and 1 cup cold water.

Vacuum frequently and thoroughly. Most of the wear of carpeting is caused by dirt. Oily soils attract more oily soil and frequent vacuuming will reduce soil buildup.

Get at stains quickly, 99% of all stains can be removed by one cleaning agent or another if they are cleaned in the first few days. The longer a stain chemically reacts with the carpet the harder it will be to remove it.

Test carpet before scrubbing, extracting or spotting. All carpets are different. Some carpets are very sensitive to acid type cleaners and will lose their color quickly. Other carpet dyes are sensitive to harsh alkalis.

Carpets collect everyday dirt and soil, it's reccommended to have your carpets cleaned every 18 months. This will maintain your carpets warranty.

Over time, carpets can stretch and buckle. To maintain their longevity, it's recommended to clean them every 12-18 months. Several factors can cause stretching, including heavy foot traffic, furniture remaining on carpets for extended periods before a room is emptied, and even the cleaning process itself.

If stretching occurs, carpets will typically tighten as they dry. Air circulation is key to this process; we recommend placing fans, opening windows, and ensuring good airflow. Carpets need to dry thoroughly to tighten up. However, if carpets do not tighten sufficiently after drying, they may need to be re-stretched by a professional. For this, we recommend Delta Carpets & Floor Design in Delta.

Post-Visit:

While our truck-mounted vacuum system removes almost all of the moisture immediately, your carpet or upholstery may still be damp to the touch. Using fans in any rooms cleaned and turning your air conditioning or heating system on can help accelerate drying time. Be sure to leave the protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and/or furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer.

You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil your carpet. Be especially careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.

Between Cleanings:

The normal hustle and bustle of everyday life can take its toll on your carpet. To keep yours looking its best between professional cleanings, vacuum heavy traffic areas two to three times a week, and the rest of your carpet once a week.

Using indoor and outdoor mats at each entrance can reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your home. Be sure to clean these periodically to ensure their utmost effectiveness.

Although we would not recommend using steam to clean your mattress, regularly vacuuming is suggested. If something spills on your mattress, urine or blood can be extracted from the furniture using our truck mounted machine. Call us for more information.
